Now, if >I only had a color printer. Well, I for one, am unhappy with Deluxe Print. Maybe I haven't figured out how to use it right, but I haven't found a way to print more than 1 copy of anything I create with it. I had hoped to be able to have it print out reams of cute, 4 color labels on my printer. Alas, I have to click the PRINT gadget for each print, wait 1 minute for that label to finish printing, then click the PRINT gadget again, etc. Also, I don't think the design is so logical. One can learn to use it, but I think it takes a lot of trying this and trying that and reading the entire manual over several times. Oh, yeah, I also think it's guilty of creating directories on my disks without my asking for them. I find empty directories "pages", "lo-res", and some others on some of my disks. I think Deluxe Print is putting them there when I say to look in those directories for files. I'm not trying to write anything there. I thought that maybe the copy protection scheme was causing troubles so I sent in my $20 and got a non-copy protected copy. Haven't had the time to give the new copy a good work out yet.
